Default ms3 power down low
im thinking of doing the MS3 cam. Will this cam make ok power down low? I want to be able to get out of the hole, and im looking for big top end numbers up to about 6800 rpms. I have full exhaust and intake an a m6. im going to run stock heads and stock 342 gears.

A big cam like the MS3 will drive and perform better with 3.90 or better yet 4.10 gears.

i just installed one last w/e, no dyno #'s yet; it's give and take, you won't power down low, lose from the top; otherwise they'd just grind one cam
